Blood Pressure and Velocity in Relation to Bernoulli’s Principle and Pascal’s Law
By Crystal Bishop What is Bernoulli’s Principle in relation to blood pressure and velocity? However, let's go back to the original question, keeping in mind that work imposed on the veins may originate with the work of the muscles (how blood actually gets circulated around the body), and that can lead to an explanation of why there tends to … Continue reading Blood Pressure and Velocity in Relation to Bernoulli’s Principle and Pascal’s Law

Why do veins have higher velocity compared to capillaries? Are we saying fluids are moving fast?
By Crystal Bishop You may wonder why blood in veins has a higher velocity than in capillaries. That answer comes down to the work of the veins compared to the work of the capillaries. When I say work, it is a type of force. Remember, force is the push or pull applied on an object. When force is applied … Continue reading Why do veins have higher velocity compared to capillaries? Are we saying fluids are moving fast?
Blood Pressure and Velocity; Why Blood Veins Do Not Have High Velocity with High Pressure or Low Velocity with Low Pressure
By Crystal Bishop Courtesy of: https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/blood-and-blood-vessels I recently learned that the velocity of blood moving in veins is faster than that in capillaries, but the blood pressure in veins is much lower than that of any other blood vessel. Since veins have a relatively high blood velocity (at least compared to capillaries), shouldn't they also … Continue reading Blood Pressure and Velocity; Why Blood Veins Do Not Have High Velocity with High Pressure or Low Velocity with Low Pressure
